Designing for laser sintering

Published Article / Until recently solid freeform fabrication (SFF) technology has been used
mostly for production of prototype parts. However, as this technology matures,
the initiative of utilising it for the manufacture of end-use products is
establishing itself. As this tendency to use SFF for actual production runs
increases, a demand is developing for sets of process-specific design for
manufacture (DFM) guidelines that will assist designers who are designing
parts for manufacture by a specific rapid manufacturing (RM) process. The
purpose of this paper is to provideRMdesigners with such a series of processspecific
design for manufacture guidelines.
